Today marks the start of NAIDOC Week.⁠
⁠
This year the theme is ‘For Our Elders.’⁠
⁠
Across every generation, Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. ⁠
⁠
They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones. ⁠
⁠
Our loved ones who pick us up in our low moments and celebrate us in our high ones. Who cook us a feed to comfort us and pull us into line, when we need them too. ⁠
⁠
They guide generations and pave the way for us to take the paths we can take today.⁠
⁠
We pay our respects to the Elders we’ve lost and to those who continue fighting across all our Nations and we pay homage to them. ⁠
⁠
In the spirit of NAIDOC Week, we encourage everyone to take a look at the ways to get involved below and encourage reconciliation.

Huge congratulations to the amazing players and coaches that completed the Push-Up Challenge!⁠
⁠
Our 21-strong team, organised by Marcus Taranto, completed 51,164 push-ups and raised $1291 for mental health charities Lifeline and Movember.
⁠
Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped us surpass our initial $1000 goal! Together, we’re making a difference and supporting those who need it most.⁠

Today marks the start of Men’s Health Week, which focuses on the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of men and boys.⁠

• 97% do not consume the recommended serves of vegetables⁠
• 71% do not consume enough fruit. ⁠
• Appoximately 50% of men are insufficiently physically active
  ⁠

That’s why this year’s theme is ‘Healthy Habits,’ aiming to encourage men and boys to make small changes to their daily routine that benefit their health and wellbeing.⁠
⁠
Remember, self-care is not selfish—it’s essential! ⁠
⁠
Let’s use this Men’s Health Week as an opportunity to prioritise our well-being and inspire others to do the same by sharing our #HealthyHabits⁠
